Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) is prevalent, but fluid shortages necessitate alternative methods.
  • Mini-open RCR, a historically preferred technique, is explored as a viable option.
  • Limited information exists on performing mini-open RCR, especially in video format.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique and outcomes of mini-open RCR.
  • To present a case where mini-open RCR was used due to fluid limitations.
  • To highlight mini-open RCR as a practical alternative for rotator cuff repair.

Main Methods:

  • A mini-open RCR was performed using a small lateral shoulder incision and a deltoid split.
  • Rotator cuff debridement and a double-row transosseous equivalent repair were executed.
  • The procedure mimicked arthroscopic techniques but through an open approach.

Main Results:

  • Mini-open RCR can achieve satisfactory functional and patient-reported outcomes, comparable to arthroscopic RCR.
  • The open procedure may offer a shorter operative time.
  • Fluid utilization was limited to ≤3 L per case.

Conclusions:

  • Mini-open RCR is a viable technique when arthroscopic resources are limited.
  • This method provides satisfactory outcomes comparable to arthroscopic repair.
  • It serves as a valuable alternative for rotator cuff repair.
